For those of you who were wandering why the sky has been so particularly bright and the tides especially spring-y, it is all because of the incredible supermoon we had on Sunday. This is the closest the moon will get to the earth this year…

This beautiful astronomical phenomenon has been captured by cameras and smartphones worldwide. Here are 10 of our favourite shots:
